v0.2.1: rbac: Add networkpolicies

[Jakob-Naucke]

as required by OLM, see e.g. confidential-clusters/operator#161:

"msg": "Operator \"confidential-cluster-operator\" version \"0.2.1\" is missing required NetworkPolicy RBAC (networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies with create, delete, and update/patch)",
"metadata": {
  "code": "olm.required_network_policy_rbac_for_operands",
  "collections": [
    "redhat"
  ],
  "description": "Operators are required to manage the network policies of their operands. This rule verifies that operator bundles request sufficient RBAC permissions to manage NetworkPolicy lifecycle (create, delete, and update/patch) for networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies in their ClusterServiceVersion. Bundles whose operator name and major.minor version are listed in the `operator_network_policy_rbac_exceptions` rule data key are exempt from this requirement. To exclude this rule add \"olm.required_network_policy_rbac_for_operands\" to the `exclude` section of the policy configuration.",
  "effective_on": "2026-08-07T00:00:00Z",
  "solution": "Add a rule granting create, delete, and update/patch on networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies to the ClusterServiceVersion clusterPermissions or permissions, or add the operator name and its major.minor version to the operator_network_policy_rbac_exceptions rule data key.",
  "title": "NetworkPolicy RBAC present in OLM bundle"
}

For downstream, we need this change in an older branch first because buildroot won't update without this change, and a newer buildroot is required for the current main branch. Upon positive review, I will also forward-port this change. Tested on confidential-clusters/operator#163.

Raising upon main in parallel so that we know integration test result. Here we won't know because we don't have working integration tests for that branch.
